Write a Blog post about the Jumping and Platform topic, share your learning experience! Were the instructions clear? Were their any instructions you felt were missing. Were you able to finish the tutorial? Will you use this tutorial in your game? If you will use Jumping and Platforms, please describe how you will use it.
The simple jumping part and tutorial were very good, but I think the more advanced part for jumping and platforms was rather difficult. I think the tutorial needs to be more detatiled and organized; there were places where there were random pieces of code that confused me. I have not finished this tutorial yet but Im still working on it. Our game will probably be using the jumping and platforms tutorial and code; we might use it to get our main character to jump through some obstacles.

Blog Assignment 2/18/11
Write a blog about the timer category that we went over on the Globaloria curriculum. Tell me how you would use this in your team game. How could you make the timer go faster? How would you rate this tutorial using a number from 1 to 10; 10 being the best and 1 being the lowest rating. Tell me why you gave it the rate you used.
- The timer category is very interesting, I like how it adds more excitement to the game so you can see how fast you can complete something. You might also be able to race your friends with a timer to see who completes it the fastest. We can make the timer go faster by reducing the number in the code, for example you might want to change a number of 1000 down to 100 so it starts counting down from 100 instead of 1000. I would probably give the tutorial a 9 out of 10, because it seemed to go over everything well, but there's usually something that I just have to ask a friend to help me on. For the most part it seemed to show you how to complete everything.

Blog Assignment 2/11/11
What tricks did you complete in the Custom Cursor category?
I was able to do the trick where you scroll over a particular button with your cursor and the cursor stayed on the button. I tried the code for the cursor to disappear once its on the button and it stops moving, but the code did not work to make the cursor disappear.
What type of custom cursor did you make, and how did you like the category?
I drew my own custom cursor that kind of looks like a leaf but in the shape of a pointed cursor. I liked this category, custom cursors add some fun to the game.

Blog Prompt 2/4/11
Write a Blog post about the Preloader and Status Bar categories in the Action Script section of your curriculum.
The preloader was something that before this week I was unaware of. I feel like I mostly understand it now. I like the idea of being able to design your own preloader that goes along with your game. I thought the main code for it was generally easy, but the code for the status bar was alittle tricky since we were dealing with a short page that doesnt require alot of memory to download.
